Economical Paper Options for Promotions
These paper choices are selected for flexibility, value, and strong color reproduction—ideal for flyers, event posters, and promotional signage.
- Gloss Paper (80# Text) – Lightweight and vibrant, similar to magazine interior pages. Best for high-volume flyer distribution.
- Matte Paper (70# Text) – Uncoated and non-reflective, easy to write on and read under bright lighting.
- Gloss Card (80# Cover) – A sturdy mid-weight option with punchy color for event posters and in-store displays.
- Matte Card (70# Cover) – Smooth, opaque card stock with a professional, glare-free finish.
Choosing the Right Paper for Your Project
For handouts and mass-distribution flyers, lightweight text-weight paper keeps costs low and stacks easily for tabling, mailers, and street teams. For wall and window posters that need to hold up on display, step up to a cover-weight card stock so the print stays flat and rigid. Choose gloss when you want colors and photography to pop, or matte when readability matters under bright lighting or when people need to write on the sheet. When in doubt for event posters, Gloss Card (80# Cover) is the most popular all-around pick.
Fast Turnaround for Time-Sensitive Events
Event marketing runs on deadlines. 11×17 flyers and posters are printed digitally, which means no plate setup and quick production—well suited to last-minute concert dates, weekend sales, and pop-up promotions. Order a small batch for a single venue or scale up for a citywide campaign without changing files or paper.

11×17 Flyer & Event Poster FAQ
What's the difference between flyers and posters at this size?
It's mostly about paper weight and use. Flyers are typically printed on lighter text-weight paper for handouts and mass distribution, while event posters use heavier cover-weight card stock so they stay rigid on a wall or in a window. Both use the same full-color 11×17 printing—just pick the paper that fits how the piece will be used.
Can I print double-sided?
Yes. 11×17 flyers and posters can be printed single- or double-sided. Double-sided is a popular choice for event flyers that need a schedule, map, or sponsor list on the back.
What turnaround can I expect?
Because these are printed digitally with no plate setup, production is fast—well suited to time-sensitive event and retail campaigns. Production time plus shipping is shown at checkout, and you can contact us before ordering if you're working against a tight deadline.
Should I choose gloss or matte?
Choose gloss for vivid color and photography that needs to stand out. Choose matte if the piece will be read under bright lighting, needs to be glare-free, or if anyone needs to write on it.
Do I need to add bleed to my files?
If your design has color or imagery running to the edge, extend it 0.125" past all four edges and keep important text at least 0.25" inside the trim line. If your design has a white border, bleed isn't required. Our complimentary file review will flag any issues before printing.
Can I order a small quantity?
Yes. 11×17 flyers and posters are available in both small runs for a single venue and larger bulk quantities for wider campaigns, with per-piece pricing dropping as quantity increases.
